Drain Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your specific drainage problem. This means looking at which drains are affected, how severe the blockage is, and what’s likely causing the issue. We don’t guess – we diagnose.

Next, we use the right tool for your situation. For minor clogs, professional drain snakes clear the blockage quickly. For stubborn buildup or grease clogs, we use hydro-jetting equipment that scours your pipes clean with high-pressure water. For complex issues, we can run a video camera through your drain lines to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes.

After we clear the blockage, we test the drainage to make sure water flows properly. We clean up our work area and explain what we found, what we did, and how you can help prevent future problems. You get drains that work and information you can actually use.

Complete Drain Cleaning Solutions

Every Type of Drain, Every Type of Clog

Our drain cleaning service covers everything from kitchen sink clogs caused by grease and food debris to bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap buildup. We handle main sewer line blockages, bathtub drains that won’t empty, and floor drains in basements or utility rooms.

We come equipped with multiple solutions because different clogs require different approaches. Grease clogs respond well to hydro-jetting. Hair clogs often need mechanical removal. Tree roots require specialized cutting tools. We bring what’s needed to solve your specific problem.

La Riviera homes often deal with unique drainage challenges due to mature trees and aging infrastructure. We’ve seen it all in this area – from roots infiltrating sewer lines to decades-old pipe joints that have shifted over time. Our experience with local plumbing systems means we can often predict and prevent problems before they become emergencies.

How much does professional drain cleaning cost in La Riviera?

Drain cleaning costs depend on the severity and location of the blockage. Simple sink or shower drain clogs typically run $150-250. Main sewer line cleaning or hydro-jetting services range from $300-600. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Emergency service calls may include additional fees, but we’ll explain all costs clearly before proceeding with the job.
Most standard drain clogs take 30-60 minutes to clear completely. Simple blockages near the drain opening can often be resolved in 15-20 minutes. More complex issues like main sewer line blockages or multiple affected drains may take 1-3 hours, especially if we need to use video inspection or hydro-jetting equipment. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate once we assess your specific situation.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable with cutting attachments to break through clogs and pull out debris. It’s effective for most standard blockages and is typically the first approach we try. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the inside of your pipes, removing buildup, grease, and debris that snaking might leave behind. We recommend hydro-jetting for recurring clogs, grease buildup, or when you want the most thorough cleaning possible.
Tree roots naturally seek water sources, and small cracks or joints in sewer lines attract them. We can clear existing root intrusions and recommend preventative treatments that discourage root growth near your pipes. Regular maintenance cleaning helps catch root problems early before they cause major backups. For severe root issues, we may recommend pipe lining or replacement of affected sections, but many root problems can be managed effectively with periodic cleaning.
Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning service for urgent situations like sewage backups, multiple drain failures, or situations that pose health risks. Emergency calls typically receive same-day or next-day response depending on the severity and our current schedule. Emergency service includes additional fees, but we prioritize these calls because we understand that some drainage problems can’t wait for regular business hours.
Most homes benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance. Homes with heavy usage, older plumbing, or recurring issues may need service more frequently. Kitchen drains that handle a lot of grease, homes with long hair residents, or properties with mature trees nearby often need annual cleaning. We can assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that prevents problems rather than just reacting to them.
